Anopheles rufipes implicated in malaria transmission both indoors and outdoors alongside Anopheles funestus and Anopheles arabiensis in rural south-east Zambia

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background The primary malaria vector-control interventions, indoor residual spraying and long-lasting insecticidal nets, are effective against indoor biting and resting mosquito species.

The Effect of Larval Exposure to Plastic Pollution on the Gut Microbiota of the Major Malaria Vector Anopheles arabiensis Patton (Diptera: Culicidae). [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Two laboratory strains of Anopheles arabiensis exposed to four plastic treatments resulted in minimal effects on alpha diversity and a non‐strain–specific alteration of beta diversity. Although no significant change to Plasmodium‐protective bacteria was observed, an increase in bacteria associated with plastic degradation, pesticide metabolism and ...

First report of the L1014F kdr mutation in wild populations of Anopheles arabiensis in Cabo Verde, West Africa

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Due to the lack of vaccines, malaria control mainly involves the control of anopheline vectors (Anopheles spp.) using chemical insecticides.

Anopheles arabiensis hotspots along intermittent rivers drive malaria dynamics in semi-arid areas of Central Ethiopia [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background Understanding malaria vector’s population dynamics and their spatial distribution is important to define when and where the largest infection risks occur and implement appropriate control strategies. In this study, the seasonal spatio-temporal

Copy number variants underlie major selective sweeps in insecticide resistance genes in Anopheles arabiensis. [PDF]

PLoS Biol
To keep ahead of the evolution of resistance to insecticides in mosquitoes, national malaria control programmes must make use of a range of insecticides, both old and new, while monitoring resistance mechanisms.

The human-baited host decoy trap (HDT) is an efficient sampling device for exophagic Anopheles arabiensis within irrigated lands in southern Malawi

Scientific Reports, 2022
Irrigation schemes provide an ideal habitat for Anopheles mosquitoes particularly during the dry season. Reliable estimates of outdoor host-seeking behaviour are needed to assess the impact of vector control options and this is particularly the case for ...

A microsporidian impairs Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2020
A possible malaria control approach involves the dissemination in mosquitoes of inherited symbiotic microbes to block Plasmodium transmission. However, in the Anopheles gambiae complex, the primary African vectors of malaria, there are limited reports of

Interventions that effectively target Anopheles funestus mosquitoes could significantly improve control of persistent malaria transmission in south–eastern Tanzania [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Malaria is transmitted by many Anopheles species whose proportionate contributions vary across settings. We re-assessed the roles of Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles funestus, and examined potential benefits of species-specific interventions in an area

Anopheles arabiensis continues to be the primary vector of Plasmodium falciparum after decades of malaria control in southwestern Ethiopia. [PDF]

Malar J
Background Investigating the species distribution and their role in malaria transmission is important as it varies from place to place and is highly needed to design interventions appropriate to the site.

Mosquito Feeding Preference, Infectivity Rates, and Knockdown Resistance Within the Wild Population of Anopheles arabiensis in Jabi Tehnan District, Northwest Ethiopia [PDF]

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
Background: In recent decades, malaria vector species distribution and insecticide resistance have taken new colonization steps across Africa. Understanding the malaria vector insecticide resistance status, blood meal source, and species composition is ...
